Post-Game Talk: Poor discipline and poor reffing is a bad combination

Tom Brady said:
I have seen NFL teams lose games directly due to bad officiating but never seen it in the NHL until tonight. I hope the 4 officials that reffed this game never have a good day in their lives.


If we lose this series I'm going to be f***ing devastated.

You must not have been around in the 2017 playoffs when Kesler was allowed to hold Talbot's 5 hole open while the Ducks scored through it.

Nope, no goaltender interference there!

The Oilers have been crushing the vaunted trap all series. It's not doing anything to frustrate them or prevent anything. The only part of LA's (5 on 5)hockey gameplan that has worked through 3 games is Korpisalo.

The Oilers have taken a lot of dumb penalties because they have a lot of players that are dumb. Kings got nothing to do with it.

I think the Oilers can come back. The reality numerically, that makes it quite a task is that when you're down 2-1 in games you have to win 3/4 of the remaining games. Or 3 for 3 if you like.

The difficulty with that is the Oilers have left every one of the first 3 games to essentially chance.

We need elevation, and we need separation. That ain't easy as long as 4 of our topsix are not mopping up. We need goals.

Not counting empty net Kings have allowed only 8 goals in 3games to the best offensive team in the league by miles. This is what the Kings had to do.

The stuff that I'm not hearing from the coach is that we're essentially playing the Kings series, and the way they want to be playing it and surviving it. Thats gotta change. The only way to do that is pump in some goals.

It’s a good thing the Kings are a fraudulent team and the only reason they’re up in the series, let alone have a win is because they have the refs in their pockets and Korpisalo is having another Cinderella performance like he did vs the Bolts. Kings will be out once he turns into a pumpkin, hopefully this series

The west is wide open but there seems to be a mandate to make the games closer than they should be. It’s no surprise that two established fanbases are carrying the brunt of “fan growth” for two sunbelt teams with inconsistent fanbases (I suppose the Kings is slightly more so than the Canes).

Lol it's gonna be the exact same 4 on the ice Sunday most likely. And you can't really blame them for the OT goal. I guess one could argue they missed the high stick to begin with and had play been stopped maybe it's a different outcome, but it's the league who made the final call on that play, not the refs.

They did. But even if they took advantage of it the refs would’ve called some softy to even it.

This illegal match fixing at it’s most blatant.

You can call me a loser all you want but I got a much different word for you.

Then kill the penalty. It’s a one goal game, find a way to win.

Had an entire third period to avoid OT didn’t they?

Speaking fairly though the Oilers threw a lot into it in 2nd and 3rd period. I thought the Oilers did try to get the result in regulation time but still 4/6 of our topsix completely squandering any chance. Several scoring chances today where we didn't even get it on net or take a good shot. That has to change too.

mentally the Oilers have to bare down more on chances and stop letting Korpi be the difference. McD did that tonight. NOBODY else did.

Well guys I’m out for the rest of the series, I can’t watch that.

I know it’s unrealistic to be so invested in the game but this is shades of the Anaheim series.

The Oilers are fighting two teams and I can’t relive this again. I think they can still win the series but the reffing is so blatant at this point it’s embarrassing.

It wasn’t just that Anaheim series, it was the San Jose series that year too, they just weren’t good enough to capitalize. This series has gone to a whole other level though.

The NHL bias doesn’t exist! It’s the Canadian refs that dictact games. They are the issue! Get them out of the game!!!

Anyone can step up in a playoff series and nobody is. More of the same from this squad that suddenly has no scoring depth again.
 
wakes up--sees oilers lost, checks the board, Refs fault again and not the teams--turns off HFboards due to the usually rants.

If so many of you are sure the NHL is against the Oilers, it is time so sue the NHL for rigging games.
